Save the Date: Noisette Foundation Fish Fry

On Tuesday, November 18th, the Noisette Foundation will be hosting a Community Celebration and Fish Fry at the offices of the Micheaux Conservancy at Riverfront Park in North Charleston.  The event is open to the public with a suggested $5 donation.

Established in 2004, the Foundation is an umbrella organization for many of the nonprofit entities in the North Charleston area and assists in the coordination of various community activities, including the following:

• Lowcountry Civic Justice Corps – With an emphasis on education, service and accountability the Lowcountry Civic Justice Corps offers inmates from the SC Department of Corrections training in the, now booming, “Green” building trade and all areas of carpentry as well as courses in financial literacy, computer literacy and GED preparation; all with the added support of a mentor. The goal of the LCJC is to equip program participants with the diverse skills needed to successfully and productively transition from prison back into modern society, thereby reducing the rate of recidivism in our community.
• The Sustainability Institute – The Institute advocates sustainable living and teaches stewardship of the environment by promoting ecologically friendly development. It fosters the education of builders and residents to understand the environment and the long-range social, economic and environmental consequences of all construction and consumption.
• The Michaux Conservancy – The Conservancy will restore people’s intuitive connection to nature, restore the natural wetlands along the Noisette Creek and encourage the community’s appreciation for the natural beauty and importance of the environment in North Charleston.
• The Lowcountry HUB Academy – short for “Historically Underutilized Businesses – is designed to boost the number of minority businesses qualified to provide goods and services to contractors in the region, thus increasing local employment and the level of economic activity in the construction industry. The Lowcountry HUB Academy is the only program of its type in South Carolina.
